Putting the documentation to work
The package provides a starting point for introducing procedures, training personnel and organizing quality-system activities. Using existing documentation allows your team to focus on implementation and the needs of your business.
Adapt responsibilities, workflows and forms to your organization, products and markets. Review the content against your activities, identify additional documentation needs, approve the procedures and train the people who will use them.
Can it be used with an electronic QMS?
The procedures can be adapted to establish or supplement eQMS content and aligned with your work instructions, workflows and forms. The package supplies documentation; your team will need to configure and implement it within the system you use.
Implementation support
